Smart Cities uses information and communication technologies to increase operational efficiency, share information with the public and improve both the quality of government services and citizen welfare.
Smart Cities enables effective integration of physical, digital and human systems in the built environment to deliver a sustainable, liveable and inclusive future for its citizens.
Interrelated topics of research under this theme include smart infrastructures, cyber security, technology and sustainability, smart mobilities and project management.
We offer our Engineering and the Built Environment PhD. We've also identified a range of innovative research project opportunities for postgraduate researchers.
